Title: Bird flu Devon
Post by: Tricia on January 27, 2021, 04:13:53 pm
Hello, is there anyone from Devon can tell me what the score is on bird flu. I know there was serious infection found at Exmouth before Xmas. I want to let my 3 out but can’t find up to the minute info on government web site. Tricia

All birds still have to be housed away from wild birds. Keep yours in.
